Paid statutory holiday

Paid statutory holiday

You know, socialist governments are just so sweet. They pay people to take vacations, and surely no one can complain about that! And just look at the US in this chart: not a single paid vacation day is offered to Americans, which surely accounts for some sort of national pathology.

This Economist snippet is very interesting the way it imagines that such treats are created like magic by legislatures and that workers and employers are utterly incapable of making these arrangements themselves. (Thanks Vanguardist)
